The next best thing to having a Fabric.com storefront...
in Crafts
is living in the same town. Ordered late last night, shipped this morning and delivery expected tomorrow 
You know though, it is probably a very good thing they don't have a storefront. I'd be broke!!!
I am thinking about making a trip down to Whipstitch fabrics this week though
Re: The next best thing to having a Fabric.com storefront...
It would be awesome! Of course, I'd be living on the streets after spending all my money on fabric

The fat quarter shop is in my backyard, and I generally find it frustrating that I can't just go and browse. I have only bought fabric over the internet 1 or 2 times -- I need to feel fabric up before I can take fabric home to live with me... I don't like blind dates!

I am too, it takes at least a week and we're only a couple hundred miles away.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I made a run down to in town quilters last week & bought ~12 yds that I have no real plan for. I just couldn't resist... this after buying ~20 yds a few days before for MIL to make me a quilt.
I was lamenting with DH that north fulton NEEEEEEDS a LQS b/c the east cobb LQSs are all skewed towards older tastes, and all of the younger/hipper LQS are all annoyingly hard to get to. There's a storefront for rent right by my house that would be fantastic, but sadly I don't have the capital (or know-how) to start my own store.
What are some of the hipper/younger ones? I might need to explore
I tend to stop by Tiny Stitches most often because they carry a lot of the Moda lines and it isn't too far from where I live.
I'm about to start boycotting Joanns and Hancock. They never seem to have what I need anymore--like dotted swiss...how hard is that? Oh, and a nice seersucker. Really? This is the SOUTH for crying out loud. Seersucker is a southern staple! And eyelet...can you tell the three things I went searching for this week was a big fat BUST! Hobby Lobby is useless too.
If you start a shop, I promise to be your #1 customer!! I'm dying here!!

I count whipstitch as younger/hipper there is a lot of new designer stuff & not so much of this (totally nms)->
In town quilters is hip/youngish too, I just hate driving there. They have a decent selection of designers, but they don't usually get the color ways that I really want. (I was looking for aviary 2 & they didn't have the print I wanted in granite...I comforted myself in the sale area.)
I also went to tiny stitches last week in search of fabric for the quilt MIL is making & I only got one fq. I think they had a few good things, but it was hard for me to pick what I liked out of the sea of stuff I didn't. (& MIL kept picking up batiks & saying "what about THIS?")
do you go to "little quilts" ? it's also in east cobb & that is where we found the majority of what we ended up buying for the quilt. I was a little worried at first based on their website, but I think they had a decent combination of stuff I like & what MIL would like. (& the two 'styles' are separated into different rooms)
I went looking for 12mm plastic eyes yesterday @ joann's & they had brown w/ a black pupil, but no solid black. The girl was like, "uh.. yea, we're not ordering those anymore". :-/ why bother having doll parts at all if you're not going to stock THE PEGS YOU HAVE LABELED?!
I haven't been to Little Quilts in a LONG time. I need to stop back buy. Red Hen fabrics is an old lady store too--and I hate the way they sort their stuff. They break up all lines into color so if you go looking for a Moda line, good luck. If they even have it, it will be spread out all over the place. I did find LA's dust ruffle fabric there though.
What I want is a good "all fabrics" style store. Great quilting cottons, some apparel fabrics (like lawn, poplin, etc.). I hate buying online, but that is what it is coming down to.
And what about those eyes??? Seriously? You'd think black would be a staple item.

oh, I totally agree about wanting it to be all in one spot. it drives me crazy trying to track down a line I'm interested in.
There's a store in portland (fabric depot) that is like utopia, i think they had almost every fabric imaginable. I spent hours in there (while DH waited outside, lol) & still didn't see it all. they have a decent online store too. It's too bad fabric.com doesn't want to follow in their footsteps & open up a store front.
